Reminders and Notes use iCloud to sync across Macs and iOS devices to track to-do lists and notes taken in the apps, and in Mountain Lion they look and work the same as they do on iPhones and iPads.

The new Messages app, which is available to Lion users today as a beta download, will support online chat services such as AOL Instant Messenger, Jabber, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk, just as iChat does.

The messaging system uses Web data rather than text messages from a phone plan and expands the free messaging service in a way that will contribute to the growing alternatives to text messaging plans offered by telecommunications companies. Messages replaces the old iChat app and will enable Mac users to send text and multimedia messages to other Mac users as well as to people with iPhones, iPads and the iPod Touch. Each of these apps is supposed to work on Mac computers very much like way they do in iOS devices.

More iOS-like additions will be found in the new OS X apps Messages, Reminders, Notes, Game Center and Notification Center. Apple says that more than 100 million Apple users have iCloud accounts and that those accounts, which are tied to a user’s Apple ID, will be used to automatically set up Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, FaceTime and Find My Mac apps in Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion will gain iOS’ widespread Twitter integration and will rely more on iCloud than previous versions of OS X.
